Glacier National Park Opens Going-to-the-Sun Road After Weather Delays
[July 17, 2011] Park officials announced Going-to-the-Sun Road would be opened to the public on July 13. This is the latest the road has ever opened due to weather.
Park officials have contributed the late opening to the high elevation snow that continued into June, according to Missoulian.com. The heavy winter snowpack had caused avalanches, adding to the job of removing snow from the mountain road.
